Thanks for your feedback. I'm afraid I still don't understand...
I've provided localization for ALL of the texts in ALL of the WiX dialog boxes. The error messages you're talking about, are they maybe Windows Installer errors that are not part of the WiX UI? Anyway, if they are displayed in the "wrong" language when a Danish MST is applied to an English MSI, then surely they will be just as wrong (they'll be the same) when a Danish MST is applied to a "neutral" MSI. After applying the Danish MST the LCID and Codepage info is set for Danish, and the previous settings (English or neutral) are gone. So how can there be a difference? By the way, I'm using WiX 2.0. Maybe there's something different about WiX 3.0?
